The success of the modern industrial laser owes much to the work of the early pioneers - constantly researching new types of lasers, and developing products whose sophistication and power have found an ever-increasing range of industrial uses.

It was just such a group of pioneers who, in 1981, formed Electrox having already developed the first successful commercial application for lasers - die-cutting for producing cardboard boxes - as well as the world's first compact, fast-axial flow CO2 laser. From this foundation of early success and achievement, Electrox quickly established a world-leading reputation as a premier supplier of advanced lasers to a growing portfolio of systems manufacturers and end-users.

In 1985 Electrox was acquired by The 600 Group PLC, a leading international machine tools and materials handling group, with over 20 companies operating in worldwide markets and representing some of the most respected names in industry.

Today, with the benefit of commercial and financial stability that Group membership provides, Electrox can confidently maintain and develop its position at the leading edge of laser technology in an ever more demanding environment.

The same pioneering spirit that led to its formation still exists within Electrox today - constantly researching and developing its products and creating an increasingly diverse' range of applications for these sophisticated tools.

Electrox specialises in the design and manufacture of CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers. From its comprehensive design and manufacturing facilities in the U.K. and the U.S.A., Electrox has established a firm international reputation for technical excellence and engineering quality in its two complementary laser technologies.
